There is a story that should be of interest to serious LSU football fans in the latest issue of, of all things, Bon Appétit.

The piece, "Any Given Saturday," follows the New Orleans writer Brett Martin to a match up between Ole Miss and LSU, "a collision between two very different—but equally food-centric — tailgate cultures." Martin is there to eat, to take the measure of the food and ceremony on the fabled Grove, which famously sprouts a bazaar of tailgaters in advance of Ole Miss home games.

He follows one Ole Miss fan and one LSU fan. The latter happens to be Jay Ducote, the Baton Rouge writer and cook behind the website Bite and Booze, an LSU fan who "leaves unsaid the widespread belief that Ole Miss fans can afford to pour all their energy into elaborate tailgating because they so rarely need to save any to celebrate winning games."

That line may not have made it into the story had Martin been covering this year's match-up, with Ole Miss unexpectedly nipping at the heels of a No. 1 national ranking. But his story is about food, and it leaves this northern-born, casual SEC fan wondering who really are the better game-day cooks.

Something tells me you have an opinion on the matter.

Nevermind football: Who will eat better on Saturday when No. 3 Ole Miss comes to Baton Rouge to play LSU? And what will they be eating before the 6:15 p.m. kick off in Tiger Stadium?
